3.6
Rationale for revision of course number:
CS 338 was renumbered to CS 280 in Fall 2011. The change from CS 338 to CS 280
caused unexpected problems with the CS minor, so we have decided to revert to the
previous numbering. In fact, the 300 level is more appropriate for the material being
covered, and the majority of students enrolling in this course (83% in Spring 2014) have
junior status.

effective database design methods, and database applications.
2.
Rationale:
2.1
Reason for developing the proposed course:
This course will replace CS 251 Introduction to Database Systems. The new upper level
course number is consistent with the ongoing restructuring of the computer science
undergraduate program. Also, the majority of students taking CS 251 (90% in Spring
2014) have at least junior status.
2.2
Projected enrollment in the proposed course:
The estimated demand for this course is one section of 20-40 students per year, based
on previous demand for CS 251.
2.3
Relationship of the proposed course to courses now offered by the department:
CS 351 will provide the foundation for students taking CS 443 (Database Management
Systems II), which covers many theoretical topics, such as relational algebra, transaction
management, consistency maintenance and database recovery.
2.4
Relationship of the proposed course to courses offered in other departments:
CIT offers Database Administration I (CIT 350) and Database Administration II (CIT 352).
They focus on database applications for business use. Geography/Geology offers GEOG
443 GIS Databases. This course focuses on the ESRI Geodatabase model in ArcGIS
desktop software along with spatial database engines used with database management
systems software.
2.5
Relationship of the proposed course to courses offered in other institutions:
The Computer Science program at Western Kentucky University will follow the same
accreditation standards and model curriculum guidelines as other Computer Science
programs in the U.S. Eastern Kentucky University offers Database Systems (CSC 313),
Ball State University offers Database Design (CS 346), and Appalachian State University
offers Introduction to Database Systems (CS 3430).

Detailed program description:
The following 23 credit-hour program leads to a
minor in computer science. All CS courses
counting toward the CS program minor must be
completed with a grade of “C” or better:
1. Completion of the following 11 credit
hours: CS 180, 181, and 251 or 280.
2. Completion of at least 12 hours of CS
courses at the 300-level or higher.
3. Completion of: MATH 119 or MATH 136,
and PHIL 215.
The following 20 credit-hour program leads to a
minor in computer science. All CS courses
counting toward the CS program minor must be
completed with a grade of “C” or better.
1. Completion of the following two required
courses (8 hours):
CS 180 and CS 221
2. Completion of the one of the following
courses (3 hours):
CS 338 or CS 351
3. Completion of 9 additional hours of CS
courses at the 300-level or higher.

Rationale for the proposed program change:
The revision of the program is consistent with replacing CS 251 with CS 351 and with
renumbering CS 181 as CS 221 and CS 280 as CS 338. To encourage more students to pursue the
CS minor, the minimum requirements has been reduced to 20 hours. At University of Kentucky,
the minor in Computer Science requires a minimum of 20 hours of course work in CS; at the
University of Alabama minor in Computer Science requires a minimum of 18 hours of course
work in CS; at Miami University minor in Computer Science requires a minimum of 18 hours of
course work in CS.

Identification of proposed course:
1.20 Course prefix and number: PHYS 425
1.21 Course title: Physics of Materials Science
1.22 Abbreviated course title: Phys Mat Sci
1.23 Credit hours and contact hours: 3
1.24 Type of course: C
1.25 Prerequisite(s): PHYS321, MATH 237
1.26 Corequisite(s): PHYS440, MATH 331
1.27 Course catalog listing: This course investigates the fundamental quantum physics of
bonding, energetics and structure that underpins the foundation of the physics of
materials. The physical properties of nanomaterials and their corresponding
applications will be explored using the principles of quantum physics. Materials
examined include engineered metal alloys, electronic and magnetic materials, ionic and
network solids, ceramics, polymers, and biomaterials at all length scales.
Rationale:
2.6
Reason for developing the proposed course: Students will benefit from a course on
novel materials complemented with nanotechnology applications. They will obtain the
knowledge and skills necessary for work at academic research laboratories, national
laboratories and industrial facilities using state-of-the art procedures to produce:
synthetic nanomaterials, electro-ceramics, multiferroics, stronger composites with
polymers, and energy harvesting structures. This course will allow students to be
exposed to and become knowledgeable about the rapidly growing area of the quantum
properties of materials, especially students who are interested in pursuing graduate
studies in physics and materials science.
2.7
Projected enrollment in the proposed course: 6-8 students per offering based on
previous enrollment in Solid-State Physics course.
2.8
Relationship of the proposed course to courses now offered by the department: The
proposed course builds on the basic concepts discussed in PHYS 321 and PHYS
440. However, there is only a minimal overlap between the content of PHYS 425 and
that of any other physics course currently offered by the department. This course will
be offered on a rotating basis i.e. every other Fall or Spring semester.
2.9
Relationship of the proposed course to courses offered in other departments: This
course in the physics of materials science focuses on the detailed quantum structural
and physical properties of technologically significant materials at all length scales: from
bulk solids to low-dimension or nanoscale materials. It complements the chemistry
course, CHEM 490 Materials Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry, by providing a
quantum physics approach to materials formation and function using MATH 237 tools.
Since the proposed course will be offered on alternative Spring odd years, it will be
considered as an equivalent elective to CHEM 490 for students in the physics major.
2.10
3.
Relationship of the proposed course to courses offered in other institutions: A course
on the physics of materials is offered in the Department of Physics and/or Department
of Materials Science & Engineering at several universities in the United States, MIT and
Cornell offer a physics of materials and a solid state course for undergraduate physics
majors. MTSU specializes in digital electronic material devices and solid state materials,
UK has a series of courses on materials in engineering, chemistry and physics. Students
